Preface: Safety Information
Please read and follow these instru c t i o n s
when connecting and using your
computer monitor.
B e f o re connecting the AC power
1
c o rd to an outlet, make sure the
voltage designation on your monitor
c o rresponds to the local electrical
s u p p l y.
Never insert anything metallic into
2
the monitor openings. Doing so may
c reate the danger of electric shock.
To avoid electric shock, never
3
touch the inside of the monitor.
Only a qualified technician should
open the monitor’s case.
Never use your monitor if the power
4
c o rd has been damaged. Do not
allow anything to rest on the power
c o rd, and keep the cord away fro m
w h e re people could trip over it.
Be sure to hold the plug, not the
5
cord, when disconnecting the
monitor from an electric socket.
Openings in the monitor cabinet are
6
p rovided for ventilation. To pre v e n t
o v e rheating, these openings should
not be blocked or covered. Also,
avoid using the monitor on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other soft surface.
Doing so may block the ventilation
openings in the bottom of the
cabinet. If you put the monitor in a
bookcase or some other enclosed
space, be sure to provide adequate
v e n t i l a t i o n .
Put your monitor in a location with
7
low humidity and a minimum of
dust. Avoid places like damp
basements or dusty hallways.
Do not expose the monitor to rain or
8
use it near water (In kitchens, next
to swimming pools, etc.). If the
monitor accidentally gets wet,
unplug it and contact an authorized
dealer immediately. You can clean
the monitor with a damp cloth when
n e c e s s a ry, but be sure to unplug
the monitor first.
Place the monitor on a solid surf a c e
9
and treat it care f u l l y. The screen is
made of glass and can be damaged
if dropped or sharply hit.
Locate your monitor near an easily
10
accessible AC outlet.
If your monitor does not operate
11
normally – in particular, if there
are any unusual sounds or smells
coming from it – unplug it
immediately and contact an
authorized dealer or service center.
High temperatures can cause
12
problems. Don’t use your monitor
in direct sunlight, and keep it away
from heaters, stoves, fireplaces,
and other sources of heat.
Unplug the monitor when it is
13
going to be left unused for an
extended period of time.
Unplug your monitor from the AC
14
outlet before any service.
